Venezuela’s 600,000 BTC Rumor: What’s Verified?
After months of military build-up and escalating tensions, Venezuela’s crisis accelerated on January 3, 2026, when U.S. forces captured President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and transported him to the United States. Maduro has since appeared in U.S. legal proceedings, while power inside Venezuela remains contested among senior regime figures and interim leadership.

From @FirstSquawk|Jan 7, 2026|41 commentsTRUMP SAYS HE IS IMMEDIATELY TAKING STEPS TO BAN LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS FROM BUYING MORE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES TRUMP SAYS HE WILL ASK CONGRESS TO CODIFY THE BAN AND WILL DISCUSS IT ALONG WITH FURTHER HOUSING AND AFFORDABILITY PROPOSALS AT HIS DAVOS SPEECH IN TWO WEEKS
